"Hot Daddy" (Dad Raise Me, My Opium"

Extra Chapter (Bag 34)

"Darling, did you really mean your decision?! Mami, I don't think, a dorm is the right place for you to live independently!!"

Laurent nodded. "Of course, Mi. If I continue to be with you, how can I live independently. Besides I'm not a kid anymore, I want to live independently and make you guys even more proud of me."

"But, Laurent~"

Nathan patted Aster on the shoulder and shook his head. Then he spoke to his daughter. "Daddy, will not forbid or detain you. Because Daddy's sure, if you've thought it through. And whatever your decision is, Mami and Daddy will support it. As long as you can take responsibility for your decision!!!" Nathan Said.

Hearing Nathan's words left Aster speechless. Her husband had made up his mind, which meant that he believed in their daughter. If Nathan only believed in Laurent, then why didn't he?!

Aster approached his little daughter and hugged her. "Mommy will miss you so much, my dear. While you're there, you should take good care of yourself. Mami, I'll find you the best hostel."

"So Mami has agreed?"

Aster nodded. "Your Daddy has made up his mind. If Daddy trusts you so much, why don't you. Mommy trusts you too, son. And never let down our trust."

Laurent sprang into Aster's arms and hugged the mother tightly. "Surely, Mi."

Actually Aster is very hard to part with his daughter. But how else, she must respect her daughter's wishes and decisions. And as a parent, Aster's job is to trust him.

-

That day finally arrived. The day Aster had to part with his daughter. It's big for Aster to part with Laurent, but how else. Laurent himself wanted that.

This is an elite dormitory, in which only children from prominent families, and Aster has made sure there is no bullying on new children, because Aster does not want it to happen to his daughter.

"Miss and Mister Xiao, you two need not worry. We will definitely take very good care of your daughter, and we make sure there are no acts of violence either physically or mentally on new children as happens in other Dormitories."

"We hope you can hold those words, Mrs Estella. Because we do not stay silent and will take decisive action in case of any injustice to our daughter!!" Nathan said. The look on his face showed no expression at all, flat.

Seeing the look in Nathan's eyes and the way he spoke, made the Dormitory chief fear himself. Although it was only through his left eye, but it was more than enough to make it seem like it was in another dimension.

He did not know who this man in front of him was. But one thing is for sure, if he's very dangerous. And for that he must be more careful in acting and speaking.

"You take it easy, Mr. Xiao. I dare to guarantee your daughter's safety and security here."

In the same place but in a different location. A pair of mothers and children were talking to each other seriously. They are Aster and Laurent. Many times Aster hugged Laurent. He was so hard to part with his daughter.

"Mi, since when did Mami become this crybaby?! Relax, Mi. I'll be fine here. Who would dare bully the daughter of the Mafia Boss, Hem? I'm not a weak girl that's easy to beat up anyway,"

"That's not what Mami is worried about, Laurent Xiao. But Mami is worried about Mami herself!! What if Mami misses you, let alone this is the first time you've been so far away from Mami."

"Kekeke, Mami hasn't changed at all. Why is Mama still full of drama. Take it easy, Mi. If Mami misses me, Mami can come here. I'm here and I'll always be here, okay."

Laurent nodded. "Mommy can do that." Once again Aster hugged Laurent. And the hug this time was tighter than ever.

Although it feels hard to part with his daughter, but Aster will try to let it go. He trusted his daughter, and Laurent must have considered his decision.

"Take care of yourself, Mommy will always miss you."

"I am too."

-

Not a word came out of Aster's lips. The woman kept quiet all the way home. Nathan knows why. But Nathan can't do anything either. It was Laurent's own decision, and as a parent he could only support his daughter's decision.

Nathan pulled the car over. His pair of big hands cupped Aster's moody face. "Don't behave like this, Laurent is there to learn. And he'll still be back in our arms."

"But why do we have to hostels, Uncle?! Why doesn't he stay at home and go to school in his usual place. Why did he have to take a decision that broke my heart?!"

Since childhood he was always with me, and suddenly he decided to stay apart from me. Do you know how much my heart is breaking right now?!" Aster lowered Nathan's hand from his face. Both of his hands covered his face and began to sob.

Nathan sighed heavily. He put Aster's shoulder and carried the woman into his arms. "I know how you feel right now. It's not just you who's sad to part with him. But me too!! Especially after a few years I've been with him."

"But how else. As one, Dad. I can only support his decision. She is my daughter, she must have thought about it very well. Let's trust and believe in him, that's all we can do to support him!!"

Aster did not respond. The woman only tightened her embrace on Nathan. Like Nathan, he must be able to accept his daughter's decision.

"I'm hungry, how about we stop by your favorite shop for lunch?" Bargain Nathan while letting go of his embrace.

"That doesn't sound bad, all right. We'll just eat there."

Nathan smiled broadly. His fingers then wiped away the trail of tears on Aster's cheeks. He could not be angry let alone blame Aster's attitude which could be said to be very excessive.

But Aster is a Mother, and which Mother will not be sad when it comes to parting with her baby. And that's what Aster is feeling right now.

"Come," Nathan opens the door for Aster.

The woman smiled widely. Aster receives Nathan's helping hand and the two go hand in hand to enter the store. Not only was Nathan hungry, but he was too. Crying for too long drains a lot of energy.
